A broken world

The world is a place

where hopes and dreams slowly get erased

that little boy you once were is now just a memory 

the world broke him in so many ways

 

Now this little boy feels like a disgrace

the trauma that he had to face

leaves him dead inside

and his mind is no place to hide

Nobody believes him for only females can be raped

in a society where everyone is so ignorant 

it went on for years and he was drowning in tears

till one day he believed that they were right

 

It happened so he must of wanted it

He feels so ashamed cause some part of him seemed to like it

cause some attention is better than the solitary he had faced

as if that wasn't enough his father all but disowned him

 

Because he loves another man 

and his father just can't seem to understand 

so he pretends that it's not real and that his son has no right to feel

the way that he does and that he is not entitled to love

He is not the only one 

nobody believes a father would touch his son

or a brother would touch his brother

but it happens more than anyone could imagine 

 

Now it's time for the world to truly see

the fact that is all too real to me.
